Ronit Shachar
לרדוף אחרי הרוח
Album · Rock · 2018
With her platinum 1996 debut Shalom laTmimut, Ronit Shachar set her intentions to lay bare rock’s vulnerability and genuine emotion. Over 20 years later, her sixth solo album Chasing the Wind remains as intuitive and touching. Enveloped in floating keys and guitars, the mid-tempo ballad “Acharei Shaet Tivki Yam” preserves the wistfulness that typically pervades her melodies. The electric “Kan Ze Lo America” expands into country rock territory, while the laidback “Menuchat Halochem” provides a pale-coloured background that gracefully brings out her evergreen powers of storytelling.
